I am a new Avantis user. Before that, I used GLD for many years. I was surprised that the playback of audio files is still not solved. In productions, there are requirements for background music as well as music to accompany the singing. The singer simply comes with a USB stick. It would be very helpful:

1. For Avantis to recognize audio files on a USB stick, without requiring a complex structure.
2. For the player to respect the directory structure.
3. Place the player icon on the bar (like GLD)  
Thank you

If I can tag onto this, I would love to see a way to move through a track without restarting it which is a feature the QU series has. Scrub, Jog, Shuttle… whatever term you want to use. For example, I want to start a track at the 30-second mark. I can’t currently do that with the built-in USB player.
